Have never gotten popups. Have Google PopUp Blocker and have turned on Windows Pop Up Blocker. This is my HiJack This log. Any help would be appreciated. Have run Clean Up, Ad-Aware, Spybot, Microsoft Anti-Spyware (every night) and Norton AntiVirus Scan (every night), etc. In addtion to WinFixer and Win Anti Virus, I am getting several other "X-Rated" popups. Never been on those sites.

Hello Les and welcome to Geeks to Go

As an introduction, please note that I am not Superhuman, I do not know everything, but what I do know has taken me years to learn. I am happy to pass on this information to you, but please bear in mind that I am also fallible.

Please note that you should have Administrator rights to perform the fixes. Also note that multiple identity PC’s (family PC’s) present a different problem; please tell me if your PC has more than one individual’s setting, but continue with the fix.

Before we get underway, you may wish to print these instructions for easy reference during the fix, although please be aware that many of the required URLs are hyperlinks in the red names shown on your screen. Part of the fix may require you to be in Safe Mode, which will not allow you to access the internet, or my instructions!

You have a little malware and the dreaded Virtumonde (Vundo B) infection. Let’s see what we can do with the first sweep.

Firstly could you please disable Microsoft Antispyware from running during the fix, it may just hinder our attempts to change anything. Right click on the icon (looks like an archery target) in the task bar and click on Security Agents Status (Enabled) then click on Disable Real-time Protection. To re enable it, you follow the same steps but click on Enable Real-time Protection.

After the files are extracted, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.

Once in safe mode open the VundoFix folder and doubleclick on KillVundo.bat

You will first be presented with a warning.
It should look like this

Press enter to continue....

At this point press enter once.

Next you will see:

Please Type in the filepath as instructed by the forum staff
and then press enter:

At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmnll.dll

Press Enter to continue with the fix.

Next you will see:

Please type in the second filepath as instructed by the forum
staff then press enter:

At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!): C:\WINDOWS\system32\llnmp.*

Press Enter to continue with the fix.

The fix will run then HijackThis will open, if it does not open automatically please open it manually.

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programmes menu).Set the programme up as follows:Click "Options..."Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):

After the files are extracted, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.

Congratulations! your new log is clean. Just a little bit more to do to prevent further infection.

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove bad files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programmes changing them. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected.)

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(Windows XP)1. Turn off System Restore.On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.Click Properties.Click the System Restore tab.Check Turn off System Restore.Click Apply, and then click OK.2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.Click Properties.Click the System Restore tab.UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.Click Apply, and then click OK.I recommend going to the following link and update as recommended by Microsoft. This adds more security and extra features including a pop-up blocker for Internet Explorer. Microsoft Update

Now that everything is fixed, I suggest that you consider getting these programmes to help keep the computer clean:

Please note that whilst there is nothing wrong in having more than one antispyware programmes for “on demand” scanning, having two or more antivirus systems is not recommended as they may well interfere with each other.
